We had a cat that was similar when me and my now wife first moved in together. She was a black short hair called Bonny. She would hunt in the fields and return with all sorts of things, rabbits were her favorite, but voles, mice, rats and birds were also common, even a mole on one occasion. She would be out hunting every day. We had a cat flap which turned out to be a big mistake.

Whilst we were on holiday my Mum went in to feed her every day, and one day we got an exasperated phone call, "Your cat has killed a wood pigeon in the kitchen and it looks like someone has burst a feather pillow"

On another occasion she managed to sneak a (dead) rabbit into our bedroom and eat some of it under our bed, leaving the rest to fester. The smell increased over a couple of days and we tore the bedroom apart, eventually finding the rotting corpse.

And whilst we were entertaining townie guests she brought a large rat in and plonked it in front of me and jumped on my lap for a fuss. Their reaction was priceless, ewws and yucks. I probably made things worse as she always got an extra special fuss if she brought a rat home, as I hate them. The thing is rats never get immune to cats, unlike poison, and having known someone who died from Weils disease I will always try and eradicate them.

I currently do not have any pets. But the one on the top is my Chloe, who sadly passed away 11 and a half years ago. The one on the bottom is Spider, he actually belonged to someone else but he adopted us.

The bottom picture is almost a spitting image of how my dog lies when he's sunbathing
